The Problem
Most Safaris Sell the Dream. Then They Sell You the Stress.
Travelers compare safari quotes the way they compare hotel rooms — by price. But a $6,000 safari and a $6,000 safari can be completely different trips: shared minibus vs. private Land Cruiser, six hours of driving a day vs. three, a guide with two seasons of experience vs. twelve.
EXG Safaris exists to make those differences visible before you book. Private by design. Clear from the start. Calm through the journey.
Luxury is not more noise. Luxury is less stress.
Your own vehicle, your own guide — not shared with strangers on someone else's schedule.

ExploreThe Northern Circuit
Where Do EXG Safaris Go — and When Should You Travel?
Most EXG routes follow Tanzania's northern circuit — the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara — with Zanzibar as the optional beach finish. The dry season, June through October, is the most reliable window for game viewing; the green season (November–May) trades some predictability for lower rates and far fewer vehicles at each sighting.
Serengeti National Park
Tanzania's flagship park and home of the Great Migration — river crossings typically run July–September in the north.
Explore
Ngorongoro Crater
A collapsed volcanic caldera with one of the densest big-game concentrations in Africa, including black rhino.
Explore
Tarangire National Park
Famous for large elephant herds and ancient baobab trees; at its best in the June–October dry season.
Explore
Lake Manyara National Park
A compact park known for tree-climbing lions and flamingos along the soda lake shore.
Explore
Zanzibar
The Indian Ocean beach finish most honeymooners and families add — 3–4 nights after the parks.
ExploreChasing the Great Migration? River crossings typically run July–September; calving season around Ndutu is January–February. Timing decides the route.

What Does a Private Tanzania Safari Really Cost?
Most private 7–10 day Tanzania safaris fall between $4,000 and $10,000+ per person before international flights. Four things move the number — and a trustworthy quote shows you all four:
EXG Safaris Is Not for Everyone
If you are hunting for the cheapest shared safari on the internet, EXG is not the right fit — a shared group tour will genuinely cost less.
If you want a private Tanzania safari with clear planning, a licensed guide who belongs to your group alone, comfortable pacing, and support on the ground — you are in the right place.
